The surface display bug is a bug in Mesa which is the OpenGL used by linux if you have no driver installed. We call this the sliced bread bug. Here's the bug report: http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/ticket/6088 and the fix: "Fixed by installing graphics driver. Incorrect surface rendering caused by vertex buffer object bug in Mesa 6.5.1."

Hi all, I have problems diplaying a 3D map in chimera. I recognized this problems with .mrc and .ccp4 maps. And only at my system. When I load a map, I get an image like this: http://download.dejung.net/chimera.png
My version of chimera is: $ chimera --version chimera snapshot version 1.4 (build 28596) 2009-08-20 19:46:50 GMT
I tried also other versions (chimera alpha version 1.3 (build 2577)) but they will not start at all. Tell me there is a segmentation fault at the beginning without any molecule, map or other things. Just exits directly at start up.
Friends of mine told me, it will be maybe the wrong graphic driver, but I all ready tried different ones. At the Moment I use nvidia drivers 185.18.14 on a Linux 64 bit system.
I have no idea now, so hope someone can help me at this point...
Best regards! Mario
